Former Derby County loanee James Wilson says he's open to a loan move away from Manchester United, when the January transfer window opens.

The 21-year-old joined the Rams on loan in August 2016, but only managed to to make four appearances for the first-team, after suffering from a knee-ligament injury.

As a result, the striker's loan spell had to be cut short, and he went back to Manchester United to regain his fitness.

Speaking to MUTV , Wilson was asked if he would be open to moving away from Old Trafford on a temporary basis.

Wilson said: "I don't see why not. Obviously, the summer transfer window has gone and there was a lot of interest.

"But the staff all came to an agreement that I would stay until January to build on what I've already worked for.

"So I think it's certainly a possibility. We'll just have to talk and have a few conversations with the manager and certain people around here. I'm not ruling it out but we'll come to an agreement over what needs to be done."

Wilson also made one appearance for Derby's Under-23 side, where he scored against Doncaster in the Football League Trophy.

Manchester United say that there were "several clubs" interested in signing Wilson in the summer, and that it is likely that the player will have suitors again in January.
